What a Weekend!
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend and are as reluctantly back at work as I am. I spent my little break on the beach trying for the World Records in foot and thigh sunburn. How ya like that visual? All that aside, what a hell of a weekend we have coming up here in the Red Stick for LSU sports. The spring game, men’s tennis, baseball, track, softball – -you name it and it’s being played this weekend. So even all you ADD LSU fans can keep busy, if not, bring a ball of yarn or something to play with.

Here’s how it works: print out your Super Tiger Fan Card (we like to say super awesome fierce Tiger Fan Card here at LSUtopia), bring it to the events you attend and get the people at the Fan Zone to give you a little sticker saying you were actually there. After you have attended four events for the weekend you automatically get a T-shirt (which I bet will have a pic of that mega-badass super tiger from the pic above.

Jam-Packed Weekend for LSU Sports Begins Today
It all starts this afternoon as the LSU Men’s Tennis team takes on Auburn at 2pm in “Dub” Robinson Stadium. The Tennis team hasn’t gotten much pub this year, but they are ranked #14 in the country as SEC gears up to start today. The team is led by Senior Michael Venus, who is ranked #9 in the country’s top singles players. Along with freshman, Neal Skupski from Liverpool, they are the #13 doubles team. Auburn comes equipped with the #11 doubles team and should prove for a tough match for the LSU duo. Senior James Clusky from Ireland has also been playing well. The Tigers will also host #20 Alabama on Sunday at 1pm. If you’re in town and not busy, head over there today or after the baseball game Sunday, which I’ll get to in a minute.
Later tonight, the LSU Baseball Tigers will begin a three-game series with the Big Ten’s Illinois at 7pm at Alex Box. LSU is red hot to start the season outscoring opponents 109-25 in nine games so far. Also, all of LSU’ starting position players are hitting over .300. The Tigers are undefeated and are the #1 team in all the land in 3 different polls this week (Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, and USA Today/ESPN). The Tigers will play on Saturday at 2pm and again on Sunday at 11am…have a bloody mary and go experience the Tigers win again in the new “Box”. More after the jump……
The women’s basketball will be playing Miss. St. in the second round of the SEC tournament tonight at 9pm. The ladies are 17-9, 10-4 this season having won 8 of their last 10. Much like the men, the women are overachieving this year as well. If they win, they will play the winner of Georgia-Vanderbilt on Saturday at 8pm. If they win that, they will play for the championship to be held at 6:30 on Sunday. all games are being played at Little Rock, AR’s Alltel Arena.
